Okay so I have a car and we live in Lancashire, also close to decent trains and Manchester/Liverpool airports. I want to take my sister somewhere special for her 18th as she's FINALLY an adult! I'm also gonna bring along her best friend and one of our cousins, but they said they'll pay for themselves. I'd want to do one night if it was somewhere fancy, e.g. a spa, or two if it's elsewhere, e.g. a city.
Problems:-
- Since I'm paying for my sis and the other two are students, we're working on a pretty tight budget. I don't mind paying for petrol as my car is fuel efficient, but I'd rather not drive over 100 miles...ish. So the cost has to be pretty low for accommodation - rules out London, Manchester city centre etc.
- I'd rather it not be somewhere too close - Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, as we've been there a tonne of times.
- Its her 18th so ideally there needs to be a few nice bars around, but this isn't a clubbing weekend - I'm pregnant and my cousin doesn't like clubs. Think classy and fun!
- Needs to be between 8th and 23rd April as that's when she's off college.
ANY IDEAS? I know it's quite a difficult criteria. I looked at cheap flights and Warsaw is SO cheap, like £30pp return, is it nice there? Already ruled out London (been before and expensive hotels/airbnbs) and Paris (beautiful but flights are about £80pp return, without hotel costs).
Maybe York? Glasgow? Wales? Lake District? Any nice places anyone can recommend? We're quite open minded and into loads of stuff. I was gonna take her to Alton Towers but I'll be nearly 7 months pregnant so it's a bit of a waste of money for me!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help suggest!!
